Roger Yap led the Purefoods TJ Giants to trip Ginebra off its winning streak as the 2nd Round of 2010 KFC Philippine Cup Elimination Series continues, 88-81. It was an off night for the Kings if I may say, as Ronald Tubid, hero of their last two games was not seen action, finishing 8 points only.
PJ Simon contributed 14 points to help the TJ Giants snatch the win from the injury-infested Barangay Ginebra Kings.
Kings Rookie KEVYN WHITE, who scored 10 points in the 3rd quarter made his presence felt as he gave the entire barangay crowd a lift, in spirit, in morale and made every Giant's confidence skip down to zero. During his amazing moments, his closest in the team, Jayjay Helterbrand and Erik Menk were seen with big smiles and skipping and jumping in happiness, too. Mark Caguioa said that they pushed to give more minutes to their promising rookie as they know what he can do in the hardcourt.
Junthy Valenzuela is said to play next week and Celino Cruz in 3 weeks.
The scores:
PUREFOODS 89 - Yap R. 21, Simon 14, Yap J. 13, Maierhofer 9, Pingris 9, Reavis 8, Allado 8, Artadi 7, Timberlake 0, Salvador 0, adducul 0.
GINEBRA 81 - Baguio 19, White 14, Mamaril 10, Tubid 8, Menk 8, Abbarientos 7, Intal 6, Wilson 3, Salvacion 3, Alvarez 2, Villanueva 1.
QUARTERSCORES: 24-19, 43-34, 65-57, 89-81.
